I recently spent 3 nights at Wiruna under dark skies. Amongst other things I shot M20, M8 and M16. I probably went overboard and tried too many objects but was keen to try my new scope.

That's very nice. One productive night. That refractor field looks well corrected. I tend to shoot as many targets as I can too when I get to the house. I don't get to dark skies that often.

Thanks Marc,
I am very happy with the Esprit. It appears flat to the edges. The TV85 was flat using the ASI1600 MC but couldnt cope with the 2600.
